Our Vision To be a positsve infven both on those live ak)n9side and that U our building each day. Objectives and Activilies hen annIng our obJ'ectives and arvrties forthe year, the trustees have conshjered the Chanty Commission's guidelines on public benefft arKI. in p2rticular. the spectfic guidance on charitres for the advancement of religion. ty to enable ordinary people to live OLrt their faith as part of our communty through the four core activities of the methjt Churches .r Calling". The people who make up Cullercoats Meth(Jist Church are a living MmunrtY rich in our diversty but untted in loving and followtng sus. Because our thurth indudes a full age range from O- 99. we try to offer something for everybcmjy on a very vaned and full menu of artivtlies. worship, groups arKI interests. We are a churth whith is proud of ts evangeli(31 roots. and is always seeking to m)in in God's mission. We enjoy a hKJh profile WTlhin Ihe communitEs of CulrC0ats, Marden Estate and Tynemouth. but include rw)le who travel nto CMC because this FS where they wish to belong. We woth collabjratively a(xoss tre North Shiekls arKI Whrtley Bay Methodist Circuit and wider in the NeWcaStle-Upon-T Methodist District. Vle seek to encourage Kingdom growth in the Ioc21 area, working with 0r thurches and Christian groups where ever possible. Achievements and Perforniance As we have mOvj out of the restrictions placed upon us by ts COVID19 pandemic we have been sk)wly trying to find our f&t again. The disnjption of the previous few years has meant muth has changed induding people's health and habits. tklnng this year have tried to restablish certain groups tn a safe VRY so that 5wle wkl meet again. This has proved a slow and diffilt joumey at times tKrt have managed to navigate our way through rt.
Move to Digital The pandemic caused us lo nbra the dvJrtal M)rld and saw us trial vanous ways to meet online. As have moved back into meeting in tErson we have tried to adapt our digital presen. continue to offerzoom for our main Sunday services $0 people join in from home if they are unvEII or Unab to make it in person. We have also continued to use zoom for some meetings even with the abilty to meet in person. This opts'on has bn helpful as rt has given us a fiexibilty of when and where we can meet. As our buildtng has become busier wrth communty groups using fv rooms available, meets.ng on zoom has gtven us an extra optK>n 90ing forward. Meeting digitalb/ also works to redu our environmental impad as people do rK)t need to travel by car to meetings or worship. This is only a small benefft bul one that is imFM)rtant to note as we seek to ma(e our thurch more eco frEndly. Continuing Lockdown Lessons During the COVID19 lockdobvns V•E diso)vered nthv ways of )nnecing with our communty and building rek2tionships with other5. As have moved out of this time we have tried to leam some of the impK)rtant iessons and corrtinue them now. This has included.. Creating and handing out gifts at rtaIn times in the year to bk5s our community. Continuing to develop how our messy thurth runs and connecling wrth new families. Creating opportunliies to meet people outsbje the buiklwu as well as in. Reopening the Building During COVID19 we spent a lot of time decorating a1 refutbishing parts of the building during the time it was ¢k)l. sin the restrictions have been lifted have been able to WelMe a number of local communty groups, small businesses and other organisations into the building. We have hired our rooms out to groups who work with c*)iklren and have a number of sessions now that run in the week for those wilh babies. have also seen all of our uniformed organisations start up again and tegin to meet throughout the week We have also been able to offer Spa to groups who Uld not be able to afft>rd rooms but vtho we have fett would benefit from lWa gIft the spa. This induded a group of mums who had babies during the pandemic arKI hadn't been able to meet up with others. We were able to give them a rwm to meet in eath wk at no tharge to allow them to socialise with other mums arKI for their babies to spend Ime with other5.
Looking Forward As things have begun to retum to nonnal have also begun lo hx)k at the fiJture and how we can moved foThvard. We re¢ognise Ihat r resour are rK)t what they On wEre but hoFe to be able to do some new Ihings in our (x)Mffnl in the coming years.
Cullercoats Methodist Church End of Year Financial Statements st Year ending 31 August 2021 Page I
Introduction The ErKd of Year Financial Statements of Cullercoats Methodist Church for the year ending 31¥t August 2021 are presented on the followin9 pages. The accounts have been ppared using the Finance Coordinator accounting pathage for L*urch organisations develo armj supported by Data Developments. Comments The statement of financial acts.vths shows a decrease in Churth Funds of £4,811 during the year ending 31st August 2021. These figures are very encouragng given that the Covid 19 pandemic had a significant impact on church activities from mid-march 2020 through to 31st Au9USt 2021 arKI beyond. There are Iwo key reasons for this decrease in church fur#Ys. Firsty, member donations were sadly reduced by around £4,CM)O due to a Covld related decrease in active meMr$. Secondly, serial Covid 19 tockdowns led to a redudion in room lettings of around £5.OW. Pleasingly. these reductions were offset by a number of small grants and legaCS received, and OFErating costs re reduc&J due to Covmj 19 related redUd in- church a<Xivity. Church reserves wntinue to be healthy. representing approximately 4 months of thurch outgoings. We expect this trerKI to continue thfough 2022 as room lettj'ngs recover wst-CovhJ 19, and fund raising activities are able to resume. Page 2

Independent EXamineS Report to the Trustees of the Cullercoats Methodist ChurGh This Report is on the Church Accounts for the year ended 31st Aug 2021 Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charitses Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounls under Section 145 of the Charities Act to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examinerfs Report My exatnination was carried out in accordan with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting
records kept by the chanty and a comparison of the accounts presented wrth those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual ttems or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trUstS conMIng any such matters. The prOdureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent Examin•rfs Statsment In connection with my examination, no matter has (x)me to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requiremenls: . to keep accounting records in accordance wrih section 130 of the Charities Act; . to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met. (2) to which, in my opinion, attents'on should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
